I think I'm one of the few that attended CAC from Kindergarten in the villa that they started at, and graduated with the best class ever at the Sphinx.

I think I'm one of the few that attended CAC from Kindergarten in the villa that they started at, and graduated with the best class ever at the Sphinx. I remember my bellydancing with Mrs. Afia, our folklore festivals, out ski trip to Switzerland, our eighth grade trip to Luxor, our Model United Nations trips to the Hague with the Steins, 24 hour marathon, Homecoming floats, PROM, and so much more. CAC will always be in my blood, giving me the best of friends, best of memories, and the best of everything in life.

My fondest memories of Cairo and CAC specifically revolve not so much around the school itself (although I've seen private universities with worse campus settings) but more the people there--students, faculty and staff.

My fondest memories of Cairo and CAC specifically revolve not so much around the school itself (although I've seen private universities with worse campus settings) but more the people there--students, faculty and staff. It was (and I'm sure still is) such a vibrant atmosphere, one in which you exit a person changed for the better. I have the utmost respect and fondest memories of my CAC teachers--Mr. Rook, Ms. Hamblin, Mr. Sowle, Mr. Marshall (RIP) and many others--and I know and appreciate that their lessons were centered less on static curricula and more on how to think and interact with the world around me. While it was never easy, it was always worthwhile. Congratulations, CAC, on 60 years of excellence in education and engagement, and thanks for the memories.

Those years were probably the best years of my life, in that I became friends with so many different people from so many countries. In those two years, I don't remember any discord of any kind (other than girlfriends!) and often reminisce with my family about the friends from "all over". Time has... Read More

Those years were probably the best years of my life, in that I became friends with so many different people from so many countries. In those two years, I don't remember any discord of any kind (other than girlfriends!) and often reminisce with my family about the friends from "all over". Time has passed too swiftly and some of my classmates are gone. I was able to manage to visit CAC about 10 years ago, but the school was on vacation so didn't meet anyone. I was impressed with the new campus and facilities.... It sure beats the basketball court next to the railroad. and putting Coach Mignoni's car up on the 2nd floor. I still look at our pic's of our trips to Hurgada, and remember our lunch-picnic's on top of the pyramids. A special hello to all who remember, scotty

I loved CAC; I can't imagine having gone to high school any where else. The teachers were excellent, the students were friendly, and the community was wonderful. I can only hope that my children will have as great a high school experience as I did.

I remember Kids Day. All the elementary students would would come out and play games, get their faces painted, and we would have a parade around the tracks. My favorite game was the one when everyone got wet -- we threw wet sponges at each other! I miss CAC a lot and I wish I could come back! I... Read More

I only spent 2 years at CAC,my junior and senior years. I graduated in 1985 and although I was there for only 2 years, I have wonderful memories. CAC had no gates then, we walked in and out as we pleased and anyone from the community could come in as well. It was really a great place to be where... Read More

I couldn’t speak a word of English when I first entered CAC, in three month time I spoke English fluently,

The school changed my personality I was very shy and quite now I’m very outspoken thanks to CAC.

CAC is really like a home to me and to many others, I spend most of my day at CAC; if I’m not swimming at the CAC pool, I’m playing Soccer, basketball or just chilling.

One of my fondest memories of CAC is winning the ISST Softball league; it was one of the special moments when CAC students can be united regardless of their age, their grade level, their academic achievements or their nationality.
